Liz Bankes is the British debut author of Irresistible, a novel about passion and growing up. Here's more about the book:
"When Mia gets a summer job at a posh country club, it’s hard work but fun, especially when a romance develops with fellow student Dan. However, she is soon drawn to Jamie – sexy, rich and bored, he’s got everything he could ever want, and enjoys nothing more than messing with people’s lives for his own entertainment. Mia knows that getting involved with Jamie is a bad idea, but there’s something dangerously exciting about him she just can't resist."
Irresistible is out now as an ebook, and in paperback in April 2013, published by Piccadilly Press.
We're delighted to welcome a guest post by Liz Bankes, introducing some of her characters...
Get to know the Irresistible girls
by Liz Bankes
Mia is spending her summer waitressing and dreaming of travelling. She’s been enjoying getting to know funny workmate Dan, but can’t get bad boy Jamie out of her head.
Name: Mia Joseph
Age: 16
Celebrity crush: Ashley from The Midnight Beast
Favourite book: Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
Dream job: Something that involves seeing the world. Maybe a travel documentary maker. Like Karl Pilkington but not bald and I would probably enjoy it more.
Describe yourself in three words: um probably not
Gabi is Mia’s best friend. She is massive in terms of personality and boobs, a bit mad and very loyal.
Name: Gabi Morgan
Age: 16
Celebrity crush: Harry Styles; Edward and Jacob – I CAN’T CHOOSE, I would have married them both but would still have turned into a vampire not a dog; the one in The Hunger Games that isn’t in it much but is TALL and FIT – you know, he stares a lot and carves wood; the England rugby team; my boyfriend Max – he’s not famous but he does look a bit like Conor Maynard.
Favourite book: All the Twilights. Me and Max listened to the Harry Potters on tape but I kept falling asleep at the end when you find out who the monster was or where the thing was hidden.
Dream job: A job where you can stalk celebrities but not get arrested.
Describe yourself in three words: AWESOME, gonnabefamous, big boobs. Oops that’s four.
Beautiful, privileged and a bit frightening, Cleo is Jamie’s girlfriend.
Name: Cleo Farah
Age: 17
Celebrity crush: Scarlett Johannson
Favourite book: Wuthering Heights
Dream job: Prime minister
Describe yourself in three words: Gin and tonic
